Release-blocking compatibility issues discovered during the 258-test
pre-release validation suite (100 syntax + 44 RDD + 114 RTL).
1. PCount() always returned 0 in PRG code
Root cause: ParamCount() returned t.pendingParams, which is
overwritten by every nested Function() call. By the time the
PCount() RTL's Frame() executes, pendingParams is already 0.
Fix: Frame() now stores pendingParams in frame.paramCount.
PCount() RTL uses CallerParamCount() which reads callSP-2
(the PRG caller's frame), while RTL functions still use
ParamCount() (reads pendingParams before their own Frame).
Verified: PCount(1,2,3)=3, PCount(1)=1, PCount()=0
2. Break("string") panicked instead of being caught by RECOVER USING
Root cause: Generated SEQUENCE code only caught *HbError panics.
Break() panics with BreakValue (a different type), which fell
through to EndProc's "runtime error" message and re-panic.
Fix (two parts):
a) gengo emitBeginSequence: recover closure now catches any
panic (interface{}), then dispatches via type switch:
- *HbError → extract .Error() string
- hasValue interface (BreakValue) → extract .GetValue()
- other → static "error" string
b) hbrtl/error.go: BreakValue gets GetValue() method for
duck-type detection without import cycles
c) hbrt/thread.go EndProc: BreakValue type name check added
so it re-panics silently (no stderr noise)
3. SET INDEX TO a, b, c only opened the last file
Root cause: Parser's parseSet() called parseExpr() once for
INDEX setting, stopping at the first comma. Remaining file
names were consumed by the "eat rest of line" loop.
Fix: Parser now collects comma-separated identifiers into a
single string literal "a,b,c". gengo splits on comma and
calls OrderListAdd() for each file.
Verified: SET INDEX TO si_name, si_city → OrdCount=2
